How to append hash tables in velocity template?

Question

I tried to append two hash tables in velocity.

#foreach($dun1 in $dotcontent.pull(\"+structureName:Checnas +(conhost:fe1d98e8-9699-4f3f-abf5-a6c0afc8ab47 con         


        

Answer 1

Your code currently is over writing $foo each time and hence you are just getting the last value. You can use lists in velocity to achieve this. This might work:

#set($listOfMnames=[])
#set($listOfSubNames=[])

#foreach($dun1 in $dotcontent.pull("+structureName:Checnas +(conhost:fe1d98e8-9699-4f3f-abf5-a6c0afc8ab47 conhost:SYSTEM_HOST)",10,"modDate desc"))
#set($foo=$listOfMnames.add($!{dun1.mname}))
#set($foo=$listOfSubNames.add($!{dun1.subname}))
#end

This way, you will end up with two lists 'listOfMnames' and 'listOfSubNames', both fully populated. You can later iterate through them to print/utilise their values.

This link will be helpful and tell you the purpose of using $foo which is not being used and just being assigned. Alternatively, you can also use velocity maps with proper key/val pairs but be sure to declare it before the loop begins.
